LW CAMERA TO BLENDER

How to get your LW camera into Blender using FBX. A bit tricky because Blender versions. Very useful if you want to get the nice simulations of fire and smoke you create with Blender into a composition with your LW renders. It's not exactly TurbulenceFD but it's cheaper... even free :)

 In this tutorial I render a simple scene with animated camera in Lw and later I add smoke rendered in Blender to it

 Here you are the files I used in the tutorial. If you want to compose the results you can get Fusion for free

-------

Como llevar tu cámara LW a Blender. Un poco lioso por culpa de las versiones de Blender que variaron el modo de trabajar con los fbx. De esta manera puedes simular fuego, humo, etc. en Blender y componerlo con tus renders LW. No es exactamente TurbulenceFD pero es gratis.

 En este tutorial renderizo una escena simple con la cámara animada en Lw y le añado humo generado en Blender.

Aquí tienes los archivos que usé en el tutorial. Si quieres componer los resultados, aquí puedes descargarte el software gratuito FUSION

RENDERMAN FOR LIGHTWAVE

UPDATED: Some facts about the LiRis project:

- RenderMan/RIS plugin for LightWave3D is a personal project to support the Pixar new RIS rendering technology inside the LighWave3D Layout application using the same external render technology used by the Arnold and Octane plugins.

- It is designed to support the new RenderMan/RIS technology, not the old "scanline" RenderMan.

- The plugin is going to be released as commercial product along 2015. Commercial details and prices are not decided yet. Demo and perhaps non commercial plugins are also scheduled to be released along 2015.

- The plugin is currently under development, and there aren't beta or demo versions yet.

Yeah, Renderman for LW is coming. Thanks, Juanjo González

Pues sí, RENDERMAN en camino. Gracias Juanjo González
